Easter Sunday





Ugh!! Family pics!! We can't get a single good one, I was just hoping for one good one for Easter. I am all squinty, Tyler never cooperates or when he does some one looks away ( I wonder who looks away...after telling the other two kids not to look away!! ), Maddie looks ornery, Bubba is blowing bubbles, Daddy looks like...hurry the heck up. Plus we just can't stand being in our church clothes for longer then we have too!!!


Besides when I leave it up to some one else to take the pictures, they are always wrong!!

We had a good Easter. Sad thing is I wasn't really feeling the Easter spirit this time. Church was off for me and Tyler had a bad day in class. It's hard to feel the spirit when your not in tune with the spirit. Years past my heart has always been full with the thought of the Lord's sacrifice. I feel terribly guilty for not separating myself from the rush of the day or stress. I publicly apologise for not spreading the cheer. I am very grateful for what the Lord has done for me and what he continues to do for me. I am one lucky girl, that's for sure. I will try and remind myself daily to step back and list the things that I am grateful for and not take them for granted.


I hope all of you had a wonderful Easter!

smelly eggs

I think this has been the funnest Egg dying activity we have done. I bought a monster egg dying kit, it came with stickers, hair, and pipe cleaners. The kids and Tami and I really got creative. We sure did laugh a ton!Here are some of our creations. Scary fish eggMy pink bling egg. ( I painted Elmer's glue on the egg then sprinkled glitter, fab! )Princess egg ( tiara and wand )Rock star eggfuzzy eggpeace be with you eggTyler's monster egg, it's just like him.
Purse egg.

We had a great time, The glue gun helped a lot in this project, but we won't be making egg sandwiches with them, sorry.

Easter Bunny Visit 2011

Question~ Why is Bubba's head cut off in the picture?

Answer~Because after several attempts with Tyler freaking out, we had to move Mr. Hop to the side so Tyler could still be uncomfortably close with out screaming, waling, and crying even more. ( I still wish I would of kept the first picture with him flung over, his shirt up, and arms in the air screaming my name )


Luckily it didn't cost an arm and a leg for this picture.

Neighborhood Egg Hunt

This wasn't even all of them, more showed up after I took this picture. The kids were in heaven until we told them that they could only have 12 each. hahaha!




There were several that met at the park close to the house. Besides it being cold it was a lot of fun and the company was nice. We picnicked, gabbed and chased kids.

hoppee Eggstere!

The Easter Bunny was frugal this year and opted to fill one big Basket, luckily we had one from the Barkers! It was a success. The Bunny came while we were at Church, Smart Bunny!

Get~Ready~Get~Set~GO!!Paiton scored the most, she was smart she was over to one side hunting and the other 3 were on the other side. Dumb kids!

We should of waited to hunt eggs until after dinner, even though I said only one or two pieces each they some how were all too full to eat their dinner. Tyler even thru up all over the floor and almost got his Dad! mmm, chocolate intoxication!
